It appears an intense garnet red with elegant violet highlights. The bouquet is clear and varietal, with violet aromas intertwined with notes of cherry and hints of chocolate. On the palate, it reveals a full and fruity body, supported by \u003cstrong\u003efine, silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant \u003cstrong\u003elively acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, finishing with a long and persistent aftertaste, ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003egame dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e or mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the \u003cstrong\u003ehillsides of Alto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e, between Niclara and Cortaccia, at an altitude between 220 and 350 metres. The south, south-east and east-facing slopes ensure even ripening of the bunches, preserving their freshness. The roots penetrate soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous moraine gravel\u003c\/strong\u003e and sandy-clay alluvial deposits, which give the wine great aromatic precision. Some plots are home to \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, which add further concentration and structure to the final sensory profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with fermentation on the skins in concrete vats, encouraging a measured extraction of colour and substance. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of various sizes for ten months, enriching the structure without overpowering the fruit. Once the \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e is defined, the wine rests for a further two months in concrete. The process concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing for five months\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to stabilise the flavour balance and deliver a dry, rounded profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1848, the historic \u003cstrong\u003eTiefenbrunner\u003c\/strong\u003e estate celebrates the winemaking tradition of South Tyrol with the \u003cstrong\u003eTurmhof Lagrein\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose first vintage dates back to 1986.
